Lincoln Woods State Park

Nestled
between routes 146 and routes 123 , Lincoln Woods State Park is one
of Blackstone Valley's great treasures. A short ride from
Providence, Pawtucket, and Cumberland, it is a popular get away for
northeastern Rhode Islanders. Visitors can enjoy swimming at the
fresh water beach, trout fishing, playing ball, hiking, jogging,
horseback riding, or just relaxing under a shade tree. A new covered
bridge at the Breakneck Hill entrance has been dedicated in the
spring of 2005. Lincoln Woods State Park is one of three Rhode
Island State Park locations tested for safe ice during the winter
months.

In light of the increased amount of use the horse
trails in Lincoln Woods State Park by equestrian and mountain
bicycle users and in the interest of public safety, the desire to

character of the trails for the equestrian use, the division has
adopted the following policy for the use of the trails at Lincoln
Woods State Park. The horse trails to the west of Quinsnicket Road

Quinsnicket Road as identified on the map linked below as being Zoned "B"
